Ebro and Rosenberg tackle the "Charlie Kirk" conspiracy theories and the suspicious construction around where the alleged incident took place. The conversation shifts to the viral clips of a "director" correcting Candace Owens’ vocabulary and her massive following despite her recent controversies. They also explore how Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly made millions while in office before "going quiet" following threats. In The Rundown, the team reacts to the "anti-Chris Brown" motion on the internet, specifically Pitchfork’s scathing 1.3 review of his 27-track album. Ebro questions if the rating is a pure "algo hustle" to trigger his rabid fanbase. The crew continues their post-mortem of the Kevin Hart roast, examining the hierarchy of comedy power and whether Hart should have stepped in to stop jokes targeting the trauma of Black Americans. Finally, they celebrate hitting 70,000 subscribers and tease a massive "Culture Vulture" debate for tomorrow's show.  -----------------------------Experience the Culture: Catch Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg, and the rest of the network 24/7 on the Amplified Voices TV app: amplifiedvoices.com/download Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
